We consider the convergence of a continuous-time Markov chain approximation X^h, h>0, to an R^d-valued Levy process X. The state space of X^h is an equidistant lattice and its Q-matrix is chosen to approximate the generator of X. In…
We consider the model $Z_i=X_i+\varepsilon_i$, for i.i.d. $X_i$'s and $\varepsilon_i$'s and independent sequences $(X_i)_{i\in{\mathbb{N}}}$ and $(\varepsilon_i)_{i\in{\mathbb{N}}}$. The density $f_{\varepsilon}$ of $\varepsilon_1$ is…
In this paper, we investigate a nonparametric approach to provide a recursive estimator of the transition density of a non-stationary piecewise-deterministic Markov process, from only one observation of the path within a long time. In this…
